A decent deck press for the money, but awkward, difficult to use, and fragile.

Awkward: You need to tighten down wingnuts on six screw-head bolts which tend to spin if you don't hold them in place with a screwdriver.

Difficult to use: The only way I have found to successfully use this is to place the cards in a card box, and then put the box into the press, which tends to crush the box. The press cannot be used on cards outside of the deck. Further, you need to tighten down the six bolts in a rotating pattern. First tighten bolt A a little, then bolt B a little, the bolt C, then D, E, and F. Then back to A and tighten it a little more, B more, C more, and so on. Then back to A to tighten some more, and so on. Repeat until you have tightened "enough".

Fragile: if you over tighten, or tighten unevenly, the Plexiglas will crack.

Yes, put the cards in a spare/not valuable tuck and make sure it is full to capacity (add a couple of spare cards if necessary)
Difficult? Just holding a screw driver - life must be VERY difficult for you then
So far it has not proven fragile for me
